When you look at the wiring the gas valve has high and low limit switches, mine has brown wires to and from. (Look like disks). If the gas valve opens and lights all is working good there. Where the goose neck goes into the burner, you will see a red boot right above, it is the igniter (mine looks like a spark plug boot). It sounds like it is bad. If you have your owners manual, you can get the model # and check with your local RV shop or check online to buy a replacement. Your manual should have a wiring diagram that can help you.

Clean the connector and contacts involving the control board. Be sure the spring contacts are sprung to where they make solid contact. It's somewhere between a sure cure and a long shot.

At either price, it's about the cheapest board I've heard of!
Please let us know if the change solves the problem.
A friend has this issue with his and cleaning the contacts helped occasionally but the problem still seems to be there.
